[Q] Flashing ROM, Stuck in Bootloop, please help! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Hi guys,
I'm really hoping someone can help me out here.. I'm rooted and was running the stock rom.. decided tonight that I would download and flash the new Jellybomb ROM for my GN3. After doing a titanium backup and downloading the rom file.. I opened my CWM, made a nandroid backup, wiped cache, dalvic and did a facory/data reset.. Just after doing that, I went to flash the rom but for some reason, I didn't see it on my extSD card.. So I restored my backup and went to go hunt through the phone to find it's location..
Well, after restoring and rebooting, It's stuck in a bootloop.. I pulled the battery and tried re-restoring.. same problem.. then I just cleared everything and factory/data wipe... still in a bootloop... going nuts!
I really hope someone can help me out, here!
Thanks in advance!

for some reason our phone doesnt like cwm recovery i bootlooped my phone the very first day i got it...twrp is highly recommended. the way to fix your phone is to odin it back to stock before your phone boots...put your phone into STOCK recovery and wipe it...wipe everything which will get rid of the custom tag...put the phone in download mode and odin it back to stock a second time. reroot your phone and then odin in twrp..flash the new rom you want in twrp the phone should make it to the yellow screen with a semiblinking blue light and then it should boot within 5min

Desperately need help with my S3 PLEASE

I am unable to get my phone to boot up. I was running resurrection remix fine with no problems, but decided to change ROMS. I did a full wipe and flashed Criskelo ROM through CWM, all looked well, but my phone wouldn't boot. I get the samsung sound and then my phone gets stuck on the Samsung screen. I restored my backup of resurrection remix, but again, my phone wouldn't fully boot. I then decided to flash the original firmware through Odin, which went well also, and passed. But again, my phone wont boot. I know i am using the correct firmware as i have used this firmware before. My phone will charge with no problems, but i cannot get past the Samsung screen. Can anyone help???

Reboot to TWRP and wipe your System, Data, Dalvik and Cache... Then Boot to Download mode and flash your phone's proper firmware using Odin.. Make sure you have a backup of your installed Apps and their Data..
Hope this helps you

Thanks alot man!! I flashed stock as you said and everything went back to normal. Good thing I had 3 different types of backup so I didn't lose any data.

Help! Smt580, twrp, rooted, need rom.

Alright, I know enough to be dangerous. I rooted my Samsung tab a 10.1 by installing twrp and then super su, all went fine. I then began to try and make a nandroid back up. It kept saying unable to mouth data, so I read a little and I changed data format. This caused a boot loop. Went in and changed back data format and used twrp to reset. All was fine again. I then attempted to use titanium backup. I recited a message backup was successful and reboot. I rebooted and now a boot loop. I then tried to reset with twrp and my file is gone. So, I downloaded what I thought was the right firmware to flash with Odin but just made that worse. Does anyone have a download for a rom I can flash with Odin to get this thing going. I have downloaded a couple and the either don't work or are the wrong one. SM-T580.

Alright, I was using an olsee version of odin, got the new one and I was able to flash a rom. It says tab a 6 on boot up bit it is functional. Now my question? Can anyone recommend a custom rom that is nebiew friendly. I'm food at following directions and problem solving but I about had a panic attack, I just got this $300 thing. Sigh off relief for at least getting it functional again.
Hmm
Ok so I have flashed a stock rom, 6.0.1, flashed TWRP, and installed SuperSU. all is working well again. However I am still getting "unable to mount data" message in TWRP when i try to make a backup. If i uncheck data on the list it backs up fine. This is what got me in that boot loop pickle before when i tried to change the data format. What data format? Idk, im scared to jack with it anymore, and im done with titanium backup, it has burned me in the past, though i think what went wrong there was when i backed everything up i then went and change data format and after all that restored and the backup was in a different data format. Idk newbie guess. I am just trying to getting a reliable nandroid backup. Anymore ideas? Perhaps i should just leave it alone and be happy with just having root.
